我所敬愛的父親
我的父親，楊寶銓長老，廣東中山縣人，一九二二年出生於澳門，家中六兄弟姊妹，他排行第五。我的父親，他一生盡忠事主，於一九七一年被按立為靈糧堂執事，又於一九八一年被按立為長老。一九八七年全家移民澳洲，他和一班愛主的弟兄姊妹組成靈糧團契，蒙神帶領，於一九九一年成立澳洲靈糧堂。他一生忠心事主，榮神益人，作了我們的好榜樣。他曾推動過許多福音工作，也關懷和照顧教會的弟兄姊妹。他特別致力於向個人傳福音，以前經常到中國山區佈道。他也是一位禱告的勇士，每天都跪下禱告，經常長達一小時之久。有時我也和他一起禱告，在祈禱中他將教會的弟兄姊妹，他自己的家人和親戚朋友，都逐一提名記念，因為跪了很長時間，我的膝頭都有些支持不住。他年老時仍堅持每天跪著祈禱，直到他的膝蓋患了關節炎，他才坐下來禱告。
我父親的性格樂觀，正直，善良，為人慷慨，富同情心，樂助貧苦，敬神愛人。他是一位慈祥的父親，對子女耐心教導，循循善誘，用聖經的話語教訓和鼓勵我們，又以身作則，為我們立下了很好的榜樣。
我的父親生平有很多愛好，特別喜歡品嚐美味的食物。年青時他喜愛騎馬，打乒乓
球，觀看足球比賽。五十歲後，他經常和我母親到世界各地旅遊，享受當地的美食及風土人情。但他無論在那裡，都不忘記將福音傳給與他接觸的人。
父親對我愛護有加，每當吃到美味食物時，必定會留下一些給我嚐嚐。有一次他得悉我喜愛某一種朱古力，他費了很多時間四處尋找，特意給我買回來。小的時候，我很難入睡，他經常抱著我，哼著歌，直到我睡著為止。有時我睡得不安寧，他索性用他的手臂給我當枕頭，讓我安睡到天亮。我還記得有好幾次醒來時，我的頭還是枕著他的手臂。
當我父親在七月住院時，他的身體雖然虛弱，但無甚痛苦，仍能吃東西。臨終時，妻子，兒女，媳婦都在他旁，看著他安詳離去。我的父親現在已經放下一切勞苦，被主接去，在祂懷裡安息。
｢爸爸，您安息吧！您的慈容及您的教誨都會存留在我心中，直到在天家與你相會。｣

我的父親
我的父親楊寳銓長老, 廣東中山縣人, 一九二二年出生於澳門。家中六兄弟姊妹, 排行第五。 他於一九七一年被按立為九龍靈糧堂執事,又於一九八一年被按立為長老。
父親對我們三姊弟的教誨，是要｢榮神益人｣，不可停止聚會，凡事都要尊主為大，兄弟姊妹要和睦同居，彼此相愛，孝順父母。
父親於1987年移居澳州，他最大的心願是要完成趙世光牧師的遺願，於澳洲成立靈糧堂。父親於抵澳後首先成立靈糧團契。蒙神的帶領及賜福，終於在1991年成立了｢澳洲靈糧堂 ｣ 。父親勞心勞力與一班愛神的弟兄姊妹一齊事奉，廣傳福音。他對神的熱心事奉，獲得弟兄姊妹的認同及學習。他一生奉獻給神，愛教會愛弟兄姊妹。父親現在在神的懷中安息。他可效法保羅說：｢當打的杖我已打過了，當守的道我已守盡了，當跑的路我已跑過了｣。父親現已息勞，去到更美的家鄉，永享天家福樂。
父親一生孝順祖母，給我們三姊弟留下很美好的榜樣。他對家庭非常負責，愛妻子，愛兒女，愛孫兒。他對親朋戚友，弟兄姊妹亦十分關懷及愛護，總是把別人放在前位，實在值得我們學習。他的一生已做到
｢榮神益人｣
的使命。

MY FATHER IN-LAW Godwin Lau
My first encounter with Elder Yeung was back in 1976. He already gave me the impression then as a respectable person. I learned that he was a man of great faith. He was also an elder of the Ling Liang Church in Hong Kong. He worked tirelessly at church serving both God and the brothers and sisters in Christ. His faithfulness to the church and his love to the brothers and sisters of the church were well known. When he migrated to Australia in 1987 he started the Australia Ling Liang Church, initially as a fellowship in a small place in Chinatown in Sydney. As the number gradually grew he started the Australian Ling Liang Church (ALLC), initially at Frederick Street, Hornsby; using the church building of the Hornsby Uniting Church. As the congregation grew again, he had to look for a new venue for ALLC. Through the grace of the Lord he found a place in Asquith, which he subsequently purchased through the offerings from brothers and sisters of Ling Liang Church in Hong Kong and a few other countries. ALLC started to have her own church premises in 1994 at the existing place in Asquith. Elder Yeung has since been the pillar of ALLC. He has always been very supportive of missionary work. He has contributed to quite a few missionary works in other parts of the world. Due to old age, he gradually reduced his involvement in the church ministries, but he continued to serve at the church whenever possible until the last moments of his life. His faithfulness and tireless hard work at ALLC would be a living example to many.
He was also was a family man. His love for his family and children was touching. He would get up in the middle of the night just to prepare food for his family. His love to his family could easily be witnessed by anyone who knew him. He was no doubt an example of a loving father and husband.
He was a man of integrity. He was honest and kind, caring for his church and the flock. He was well respected not only at church but also at work, among his friends and relatives.
His death is a great loss to the church, his family and his friends. He will always be remembered as a great servant of God, founder of ALLC, a loving husband and father and a great example to those who know him. It would be joyful and reassuring to know that he is now resting peacefully in the arms of our saviour Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

I am sorry to hear that Elder yeung passed away. He is s the faithful and humble servant that I always appreciated. We all miss him. However, I thank God that he had finished the race, run the full distance, and have kept the faith. He is right now in the paradise to enjoy the accompany of God.
I know that you miss elder yeung; I pray that God comfort you Himself

親愛的楊長老：
在您身上，我們看見神的榮耀，嗅到基督的馨香。
您是一個那麼溫厚的長者──喜歡鼓勵後輩、親愛小孩、對神忠心；你是我們的榜樣，是神美好的見証。
我們懷念您溫和親切的笑容，吃魚頭和螃蟹時滿足的表情，拿著巧克力送給小孩時的關愛眼神......
感謝神，我們同得救恩，將來會在天家相會。
莫慶雲一家
過去與長老曾一起服侍，每遇到處事上的爭論，執事間討論得十分激烈，長老總是心平氣和，然後帶著微笑，把雙方觀點中的強處說出來，叫會議的氣氛輕鬆起來，及大家對問題的看法有更進深的了解，長老真是一位使人和睦的人，他每出現的地方，總是帶來詳和及歡笑，對我們後輩來說，他總是鼓勵與支持，我為上帝所賜下這樣的一位僕人感恩，也為靈糧堂出現這樣一位長老感恩。
願楊長老忠誠及辛勤的服侍，成為我們眾人的榜樣。

楊長老,我們教會親愛的長老,我們眾人屬靈的爸爸,終於離開我們,回到天父的身邊了。
回想我返教會初期,因每天返教會練習鋼琴的關係,有較多機會見到楊長老。他常常關切地慰問我 ，不時送上小零食，讓我不至餓著肚子練習。其實當時我只是「初信的小羊」，但楊長老卻顯出聖經所說「作在這小子身上」的愛心。
也記得有一段時間，他不辭勞苦，每次聖餐主日後親自到一位行動不便、獨居的姊妹家中施餐。凡此種種，都是我們年青一輩的好榜樣。
當回憶楊長老生平點滴時，不禁望著他親筆所寫，現掛於家中的金句：「所以我親愛的弟兄們，你們務要堅固不可搖動，常常竭力多作主工，因為知道你們的勞苦，在主裡面不是徒然的。」楊長老的勉勵會銘記於我們心裏。現在他已放下世上的勞苦，歸回天家。在人的感情而言，雖然有不捨之情，但想到他現在安息於主的懷裏，便覺釋懷。

悼念為主辛勞服侍的楊寶銓長老:
得悉楊長老已蒙主接回天家，突然間，心裡感到靈糧堂的前輩又少了一人，楊長老在靈糧堂服侍多年，縱使屢經靈糧堂人事轉變，仍堅持對上帝的忠誠，務要把靈糧堂傳福音佈道的特點，堅持下去，就是到了澳洲，仍要建立起靈糧堂，這種精神，叫人欽佩不已。

如今再見不到長老的微笑，更不能與他共話當年，相信有朝在天家必再重聚，唯願以下用保羅的說話，成為長老家人及各人的安慰:
"那美好的仗我已打過了， 當跑的路我已經跑盡了，所信的道我已經守住了，從此以後有公義的冠冕為我存留!"
(提後4:7-8上)
願楊長老忠誠及辛勤的服侍，成為我們眾人的榜樣。

親愛的楊長老：
在七月廿二日收到消息，你已於零晨安息主懷，一時間不知怎樣回應，但當安靜下來，你的面容：對弟兄姊妹關切的面容；當聽到弟兄姊妹邀請你前往探望其父母時，你留心地聆聽的面容；對未信主的新朋友，那份關切他們靈魂的需要的面容；在禱告中迫切的面容…….一一都浮現在腦海裡，還記起每次電話中的問候、鼓勵和叮嚀仍歷歷在目，眼淚便不受控的流下來。你那份熱切的心懷，總給予接觸你的人感受到一份溫暖。這些也成為我作牧養教會的應有學習態度和榜樣。
實在捨不得你離開我們，你是我們的屬靈父親。現在你已安息在耶穌懷中，得到天父的稱讚：是一位又良善又忠心又熱誠的僕人！！這些也成為我們眾人的安慰！

在我們家中, 亦掛着楊長老親筆所寫的 ：「主作之合 永結同心 良緣美滿 幸福家庭」。
他實在寫得一手好書法, 但更重要的是他的一番心意, 不辭勞苦和為人設想。
當他在講台上說了很有意思的訓勉說話後, 有時會問我說得好嗎, 很是謙虛。
數年前他一面唱着 「滿江紅」, 一面踏步作軍操的一幕, 歷歷如在眼前。
如今釋去世上的勞苦, 安息主懷, 令我們不勝懷念。
